Great, thanks.  `uniquify' is now enabled by default.
`ido' is rather problematic because it's a very different interface with
incompatible key-bindings and it is not a superset of the current
default completion UI.

Iswitchb is marked obsolete in the trunk: you can get the same
functionality with icomplete-mode.  So you can increase the count of
`icomplete-mode' for all users who have enabled iswitchb without
enabling icomplete-mode.

The plan for "ido by default" is rather to slowly make ido obsolete by
adding the corresponding functionality either in the default completion
UI or in icomplete-mode.
An alternative is to try and re-implement it on top of the current
completion UI.  To a large extent, it boils down to the same.

Indeed.  But I think it can be a good starting point for discussions
about individual packages.
